review of Editor's Draft comments from group
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2011AprJun/0082.html
<jeanneS> JA: Like the clarity of 1.1.1 - especially "non-text content"
Re 1.1.1, the new version is actually considerably longer than the
existing text, but "For each type of non-text content" is a valuable
addition.
Re 1.1.2 (was 1.1.3), I disagree with the new text dropping the
requirement that the indicator needs to be presented "along with" the
element it refers to, as I don't think it should be adequate to merely
display a binary indicator on the status bar that says there is at
least one element on the page with alternative content.
<jeanneS> Jeanne: Are there examples of 1.1.2?
<jeanneS> Greg: Opera
<jeanneS> Greg: entered comments (above)
<jeanneS> Jim: If you have an audio indicator that sounds if something is there.
Should probably be "presented" rather than "displayed" to accommodate
non-visual browsers.
<jeanneS> Greg: so "presented" rather than "displayed"
<jeanneS> ... we could define "display" as including audio.
Similarly, I would not consider it adequate for the user agent to have
a menu item that brings up a dialog with a list of all the elements
that have alternative content.
That's why I propose we restore the wording about presenting "along with".
<jeanneS> Mark: Temporarily or spacial adjacent
<jeanneS> Greg: we have the phrase in the original version, but it was
omitted in Jan's rewrite
<jeanneS> Kim: Presented is better than displayed, even if we included
it in the definition. It is a better mental map,.
The original version read "1.1.3 Identify Presence of Alternative
Content: The user can specify that alternative content indicators be
rendered along with elements that have alternative content (e.g. an
icon to indicate an image has a short text alternative). (Level A)"
What would you change other than changing "alternative content
indicators" to "indicators"?
Oh, and Jan's also took out the inline example.
<Jan> 1.1.2 Indicate Unrendered Alternative Content: The user can
specify that indicators be presented with rendered content when
unrendered alternative content is present for the rendered content.
(Level A)
1.1.3 Identify Presence of Alternative Content: The user can specify
that indicators be presented along with elements that have alternative
content.
1.1.3 Identify Presence of Alternative Content: The user can specify
that alternative content indicators be rendered along with rendered
elements that have alternative content.
Re 1.1.3 (was 1.1.2), I think we lost the important concept that it's
all about changing the display options for a specific element, rather
than for a content type.

Richards - due 2011-07-07].
<JAllan> 1.1.3 Render Alternative Content: The user can choose to
render any types of alternative content that are present for a given
element.
It was about not telling the browser to show all alt text, but (for
example) to select an image and tell the browser to show alt text for
that image.
Jim's version looks reasonable, at first glance.

[on Jeanne F Spellman - due 2011-07-07].
Re 1.1.4, my only real concern about the rewrite is that it introduces
the limitation that it's only about alternative content for *non-text
content*, so it would no longer apply to things like abbreviations.
The older version was "1.1.4 Rendering Alternative (Enhanced): The
user can specify the fallback order in which to render alternative
content. (Level AA)", which applied to text and non-text content with
alternative content.
Jan has a good question, whether the title attribute would be
alternative content, and whether 1.1.2 should require the UA to
indicate presence of title on text and/or non-text elements.
<JAllan> 1.1.4 Default Rendering of Alternative Content (Enhanced):
For each type of content, the user can specify the cascade in which to
render different types of alternative content, in case preferred types
are not present. (Level AA)
<jeanneS> JA: Our SC references WCAG which says it is AAA.
<Jan> WCAG also has this defn http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#suppcontentdef
<Jan> http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#multimedia-alt-textdef
<Jan> http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#alt-time-based-mediadef
I note that "type of content" is not defined, but is used in passing
as generic types "(such as video or sound)" rather than specific
element types (e.g. yes for object, no for img). Probably not
important.
<Jan> http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#text-altdef

For each type of content, the user can specify the cascade in which to

Change to Overview
<jeanneS> http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/36791/20110620/results#xq3
<JAllan> support alternative input and output including assistive technology
How about two bullet items:
* support assistive technology such as alternative input and output utilities
* support the user's choice of input styles, such as keyboard or mouse
<mhakkinen> support assistive technologies to enable alternative input
mechanisms and output modalities
* support multiple input styles, such as keyboard, mouse, and speech
* be configurable, so the user can adjust it to meet their needs
* be discoverable, so the user can learn to use it easily
* be predictable, so the user does not have to react and compensate
for the user agent behaving in ways they did not expect
* enable optional self-pacing, for users who need additional time to
view, read, comprehend, or respond
* adhere to published conventions where they do not reduce accessibility
* support assistive technology such as alternative input and output utilities
* support usr's choice of input styles, such as keyboard, mouse, and speech
* support the user's choice of output styles, such as text, graphics, and speech

Does this really add anything beyond 4.1.1 and 4.1.2? Not sure.
(That's re Simon's proposed SC starting "If a User Agent keeps an
internal representation of the user content...")
If a platform that does not support a platform accessibility API like
MSAA, and thus 4.1.1 does not apply, 4.1.2 would require the UA to
expose information about each element, but would not require it to
expose information about relationships between them such as any
*order*. Simon's would do that.
